Situated in the historic Biak-na-Bato National Park in Bulacan, Mt. Gola is usually hiked together with it's twin peak Mt. Manalmon. Even though it only stands at 560 feet above sea level yet the summit offers a breath taking view of the surrounding landscape.
The hike is classified as a minor climb which is very suitable for beginners that are being introduce to hiking. Both mountains shares a common trail on the first part of the hike that passes a cave, grassland and river crossing which is then separated by a river gorge. The left trail leads to Mt. Gola while the right trail leads to Mt. Manalmon. The trail of Gola is much steeper compared to that of Manalmon and with more rocky portions, thus rock balancing has become a common sight on the trail.
Upon reaching the summit one will be rewarded with a picturesque view of the surrounding mountain ranges of Sierra Madre, Mt. Manalmon, Madlum River, the towns of Don Remedios and San Miguel, even Mt. Arayat can be seen from afar.
How to Get There:
1. Ride a bus bound to Cabanatuan.
2. Alight in San Miguel, Bulacan (town proper)
3. Ride a trike to Sitio Madlum (DENR Registration)
